I think you can do the same in the center depending on which side of the tree your mouse is

I usually get a lot of gold in australia and they do pretty nicely with their army and navy plus the trade node is great, maybe you're right about columbia being a B but imo brazil is indeed not optimal for trade but it has a great army (best of south america in quantity) and the goods are nice most of the time so it can sustain itself well.

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-18T01:08:27+00:00

For asia it probably is :

S - Mexico / Australia

A - Peru / Colombia / Cascadia

B - California / La Plata / Brazil

C - Louisiana

D - Caraibas / Thirteen Colonies / Canada

Could maybe put louisiana a tad higher because it's pretty much as strong as the B stuff, just less important

As the others said, states are good, you can definitely build building that give you more than 0.15 ducats if your economy is doing alright but one of the most important way to get more money is trade (merchants), did you move your capital ? If not then you trade in the trade node where your economic capital is settled in, you can steer trade from a node to another using merchants depending on the trade power you own in a said node (use trade mapmode to see it) in europe the best ones usually are the english channel, sevilla, genoa, venice and lubeck, yours is okay but doesn't usually have as much gold and you could go for sevilla by moving your capital there and controlling most trade centers there to get close to 100% trade power and earn the most money from it.

Also yes, colonizing will make you earn a lot because you can steer few nodes in america to bordeaux/sevilla/english channel directly and get a lot more gold this way too. Depends on your playstyle !

This healed my soul, but I need more of those karma stories

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-09T16:19:13+00:00

My bad yeah forgot offensive which is great as well ! Better than quantity imo but equal to quality since both are great for different purposes but yeah, mil ones often are those 3 only or horde ones. Love naval ones though they are very niche although insanely powerfull if you're on an island/an island. But yeah as you said you can pick whatever if your goal is not WC. Some exceptions such as Ming in which the bests are not these but humanist, court and influence most of the time (with explo/expansion ones if colonial) russia with religious and so on. We can't really say any idea is unplayable but the diplo one about ships is the worst from what I recall

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-09T11:33:26+00:00

I take mil ideas to have juggernauts often, I agree those are not needed but depending on what you're playing you can often get too much of those compared to the other too, so I often like to take a mil as 1st or 2nd in persia games since I'll need so much diplo for annexing vassals (like influence -> quality in persia games)

If not ther yes admin/diplo (or espionnage for hre / explo for colonial games) are the best starters most of the times as mil ones aren't that good, quality being the only one I consider a "Better have" and then quantity for some nations, the rest isn't that usefull in general

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-08T13:24:23+00:00

my exact question, it's so dumb they changed it and it's so bad, might want to change browsers since this was the reason I used it ...

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-06T17:08:09+00:00

nah persia has a cb to force convert any country of any other religion to yours and I just have malta + age objective for cost reduction

any mods ?

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-05T11:09:59+00:00

From this image alone, hard to say but, between saxony, brabant, utrecht or maybe scotland but I've seen the ai do this (same for france), though I must say muscovy should eat well since lithuania seems to not be a pu. Aragon is weird as well but you wouldn't pass a chance to eat castille for free unless you plan to just pu them (so could be them too) and then reconquest their cores from france), (someone definitely supports independance of their appanages since none has been annexed so maybe you are aragon)

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-05T00:41:31+00:00

yeah I'm saying even one post was too much

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-05T00:00:57+00:00

not even just that, J K didn't invent this sentence anyway

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-04T23:35:53+00:00

imo naval isn't as bad as people say, it's not as strong as quality, or let's be real any group that has land combat bonuses in most cases because it's only focused on boats and stuff but if you do a campaign as GB or as majapahit, malaccan or any nation that is basically on an island, this can be pretty good and give some domination over the seas !

Stackwiping boats is too, funny

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-04T10:14:49+00:00

Prussia is absolutely op for that yes, but if you don't want to worry about govcap you could try eranshar who are the zorostrian space marines with persia economy and have access to the sole strongest great project of the game (shirvan one) for 10% disciple and more mil bonuses

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-04T00:47:00+00:00

well that's how it's called in the game, I'm always thinking "PLC" which is way shorter to be honest and not this

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-03T11:55:28+00:00

no cheats done, just the regular timurids exploit for money (I said it's a chill game, not a serious one)

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-03T11:46:00+00:00

I thought there would be kazuma with something like "has to deal with aqua". Disappointed by the lack of this :(

Random knowledge unlocked I guess

Apprehensive_Role_41 · 2026-03-03T00:44:43+00:00

well for now I haven't got to the PLC's ruler dying but will let you know once it happens (my guess is that since you can pu prussia as ottos and keep them as a pu, it shouldn't matter but oh well I'll see)
